[Kevin]

Gaving up on Armor and Fire Upon the Deep to read World Without End, which I been wanting to read since I finished the Pillar of the Earth a little over a year ago.

[Tad]

Doing a reread of The Dragonriders of Pern. Kindle edition this time:)

Good to hear. I literally just finished loading this on my mp3 player to listen to.

[Tim]

Re-reading "A Princess Of Mars" I read it when I was 14, this is the first time since. It's a bit dated but still a good story, looking forward to the John Carter film out this year.

[Banner]

Tim I just did that awhile back. I wanted to get a refresher before the movie. I enjoyed it. The science is a little dated, but not so bad when you think about how long ago it was written.

[Megan]

I'm midway through Guy Gavriel Kay's Under Heaven, Murakami's 1Q84, and enjoying them both immensely. I'm also just about to start The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I read it when I was about 14 or 15 to Tim, and that would have been a year or 2 years ahead of you I guess. I had the Science Fiction Book club editions of all the Burroughs Mars books.

[Cheryl]

I'm reading A Bad Spell in Yurt. It's an oldie...published in 1991, but it's not too bad so far.

[Beezlebug (Rob)]

Finished The Year of the Flood, Troika, The Algebraist, Ready Player One and The Postmortal. Ready Player One and The Postmortal were never high on my list to read but I'm glad I did. The Postmortal in particular was excellent.

Starting House Harkonnen tomorrow (still sticking with my pledge to read all the Dune novels) and still working on The Passage audiobook. The Passage is sloooow going. I have a short commute so I only listen to about 20+ pages a day and the book is almost 800. Good so far though.

[Jenny]

I'm reading The Night Circus and I love it!

[Tad]

I'm reading Erebos by Ursula Poznanski. First couple of chapters were a little rocky, but now I'm starting to get into it.

[Scott]

Reading Dangerous Visions.

Published in 1991 makes it an oldie? Wha?"

Well, relatively speaking! :D

[Sandra]

There was a lot of good stuff written before 1991.

I know, I know! I guess it was just an unfortunate choice of words. :)

I just meant "oldie" in comparison to the more recent books I've been reading.

[Scott]

I finished 11/22/63 over the weekend. I really enjoyed it. I was really worried after reading some reviews.

Then I started The Night Circus.

[Beezlebug (Rob)]

Finished The Passage today. Loved it. I'm sure the movie adaption will be crap though. There's no way they could do it justice.

[Ben]

I'm starting Gardens of the Moon and my first read of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series. Kinda intimidating. I've been putting it off until I had more of the books in MMPB form. I'm looking forward to The Windup Girl and Dauntless with this group in March. Though I will probably fit in my next Discworld book (Equal Rites) before those two.

I'm hoping you have a better go at Gardens of the Moon than I did.

[Kevin]

I'm read Invader and Inheritor, book two and three of Cherryh's Foreigner series.

[Robert]

I'm reading The Fuller Memorandum.

[Scott]

Finished The Night Circus. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Will start We Have Always Lived in the Castle this afternoon.

[CD]

I am reading 1Q84. Read the first 100 pages or so at one sitting and stayed awake much longer that evening than planned!

Yes the book is captivating.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Not reading any real science fiction right now. Finishing a fantasy (Princeps' Fury) and starting 2 others (The Knights of the Dawn King and The Well of Ascension).

[Chris]

Currently reading: and

[Scott]

Reading some science fAction right now: The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark.

[Jenny]

I finished The Night Circus and I loved it! I'm now reading Elizabeth The Queen: The Life Of A Modern Monarch, Sojourn, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1. I really need to finish some of these up.

[J.P.]

Finally gotten around to The Lies of Locke Lamora. I've heard many good things about it.

[Beezlebug (Rob)]

Finally finished House Harkonnen and also knocked out The Electric Church and Far North over the weekend.

Has anyon else read Far North? If so I've got a question...

(view spoiler)[Did they ever explain how Makepeace came to be pregnant? Either I skimmed somewhere I shouldn't have or Marcel left something out because that ending came out of nowhere for me. As far as I read she was never with anyone throughout the story. (hide spoiler)]

[Scott]

Finished We Have Always Lived in the Castle last night. Great book from Shirley Jackson.

Started A Dirty Job this morning. I love his books. They always give you a laugh.

[Gary]

Just finished the second in David Weber's Honor Harrington series, The Honor of the Queen. Terrific book. While the first On Basilisk Station may have been a bit pedantic at the start, this one whizzed right along. Reading the third The Short Victorious War now. Also finished the second book Catching Fire (of 3) in the Hunger Games series. Not as well paced as the first, but still well worth reading. Also, just finished reading the new Vince Flynn thriller Kill Shot now.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Reading 1Q84( 1Q84 ) and am agreeing with what seems to be the prevailing opinion...odd read even for a writer known for odd reads.

[Scott]

Finished A Dirty Job yesterday and then started Bad Moon Rising. This is the final installment of the Pine Deep Trilogy.

[Jason]

Bad Moon Rising is really good, Scott. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

[Scott]

It is excellent so far.

[Chris]

Started Revelation Space the other day and enjoying it so far. Can't decide between Pandora's Star or Hyperion for my next read.

[J.P.]

I would go with Hyperion. It's one of the best science fiction books ever in my opinion.

[Chris]

Thanks for that J.P. Decision made then.

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

We need to read Hyperion in here, I say!

I'll second that :-)

I'm finishing up Containment right now.

Pandora's Star is near the top of my TBR pile, though I'm not sure if I'll go with that, The Steel Remains, or The Long Goodbye for my next read.

[Jason]

I'm reading Hyperion now, and it is excellent!

[Kevin]

Here is my list to finish before the end of the month: Snow Crash, Hounded, Daughter of the Blood, Dawn, and The Accident. Reading Snow Crash now, but not as comfortable with the third person narrative because its not done as much in books.

[Shari]

You won't regret reading Hyperion. It's a great book. I read it last month and it was so good I'm reading Endymion now, the third book in the Hyperion Cantos series.

I loved Endymion.

I'm loving it so far also. I have The Rise of Endymion on my shelf. It looks like it will get first priority after I finish Endymion. The Cantos has been disrupting my TBR list.

These books might disrupt my own tbr list, too. lol

That's how good they are, right? lol. I'm now thinking what sci fi series to read next. When you read books like the Cantos series your expectations thereafter go a couple of notches higher.

[Scott]

Started a book I remember one of my friends reading in grade school, which has always stuck in my mind:Midnight at the Well of Souls

Looks interesting, thank you. Have you read it? Did you like it? I found the Red Mars series by KR Robinson at the library and I wonder if they are good.

[Scott]

I am about halfway through. It is pretty good.
